13. A practical design of insensitive RC-active filters (Concordia university). This three
operational amplifier biquad, extracted from his Ph. D. work was published in the IEEE
Trans. CAS, May 1975. Also, it was selected as a benchmark paper by Dr. L. P.
Huelsman for his book, "Benchmark Papers in Active RC-filters; Lumped and
Distributed", published by Dowden, Hutchinson and Ross, 1977. This biquad was
discussed by Dr. M. S. Ghausi in his survey article on Analog Filters in the IEEE Trans.
on Circuits and Systems Centennial Issue, January 1984. Also, the same biquad was
thoroughly examined, among others, and cited for its excellent performance in the book,
"Modern Filter Design", by M. S. Ghausi and K. R. Laker, Prentice Hall, 1981.
14. Standardizable Low-pass Voice-band Hybrid Circuit filters for Pulse Code Modulation
Communication Systems - published by the IEEE Trans., SSC, 1974. This pioneering
work at Bell Northern Research in functional trimming and manufacturing of active
filters using different technologies was cited by the IEEE Spectrum Special Issue on
Technology Review, January 1976. Also, during the course of this work at Bell Northern
Research, a high precision, wide band, versatile and relatively inexpensive
36
computer-controlled system for automatic measurement and trimming of microelectronic
circuits that employs self- calibration was developed in cooperation with the Hewlett
Packard (HP) scientists and engineers. The successfully custom-developed system,
HP3042-option H24, the first of its kind enabled the industry in general and Northern
Telecom in particular to test PCM filters, as well as many other products since then. The
resulting system specs are: + 0.1dB from 50 HZ to 13 MHz over a dynamic range of 40
dB. All previously existing systems were not suitable due to cost, accuracy or
incompatibility in interfacing with computer controlled laser trimmers. Both Northern
Telecom and Bell Northern Research use several of these system in their R&D and laser
trimming facilities.
15. Functionally Tunable Active Low-Pass Filter, U.S. Patent 3,891,938, June 24, 1975
(modification of Sallen and Key Biquad to become functionally tunable).
16. Passive Sequence Discriminators (SD) (Symmetrical Polyphase Networks) and Their Use
in Frequency Division Multiplex (FDM) Communication Systems, (Bell Northern
Research) U. S. Patent No. 4,123712, Oct 31, 1978. First economically successful system,
implemented using standard thick film technology and switched modulators, that meets
the CCITT specifications for both inband and out of band signaling. Bell Northern
granted him an award for his work.
17. Apparatus for Coupling a Two-Way Transmission Path to a One-Way Transmitting Path
and a One-Way Receiving Path, with W.F. McGee(Bell Northern Research). Canadian
Patent No. 1, 124,355, May 25, 1982 and U.S. Patent No.4, 326,109, April 20, 1982.
18. Switched Capacitor Oscillators and Their Application to FM Compression, FSK and MF
Generation, first published in the IEEE Int. Symposium on CAS, April 1981 (West
Virginia University) - Implemented in several MOS Integrated circuits including Harris
Semiconductor, Florida (Heart pacemaker and 2400 Baud Modem). This contribution is
published in the book: Analog MOS Integrated Circuits for Signal Processing by R.
Gregorian and Gabor Temes, John Wiley, pp. 445-461, 1986.
19. High order IIR and real-time adaptive acoustic noise-canceller for speech optimum
homogeneous algorithm (normalized step size) (West Virginia University). Prototype
delivered to the Naval Research Lab., Washington, DC in Nov. 1984. An independent
evaluation in real-time with real life signals were conducted which verified the excellent
performance of the system (better than 10 dB improvement in signal to noise ratio). The
Navy branch head sent us a letter commending our efforts.
20. Extended-Bandwidth Composite Amplifiers for Small Signal as well as High-Speed and
High Accuracy Applications, West Virginia University. This is a basic contribution that
drastically improves the performance of all practical linear active networks, using real
amplifiers (i. e. non ideal), such as finite gain amplifiers, instrumentation amplifiers,
integrators and all types of filters. We first reported this technique in two papers
presented and published in the Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems,
Albuquerque, New Mexico, June 1981, Researchers who applied the proposed composite
amplifiers verified the outstanding improvements claimed by us in both linear and
nonlinear applications [e.g. W. F. Stephenson, IEEE Trans. CAS, April 1984; R.
37
Schaumann, IEEE Trans. CAS, November 1973; and M. Ismail, Midwest Symposium,

EEL 3140C - Analog Filter Design - Taught the revised course for the first time at UCF -
Introduced two modern active filters chapters: Generalized immitance converter biquads and
broadbanding techniques. These are some of our contributions in the active and analog signal
processing field. Several labs and computer experiments corresponding to these modern topics
were also introduced.
EEL 4750 - Fundamentals of DSP - Taught for the first time at UCF as a senior elective course
in our newly developed sequence in digital signal processing. Revisions were made to teach the
course at the senior level rather than the graduate level, which prepares our graduating EE's in
this important area. Introduced DSP MATLAB Software. Course is required as of Fall 1994.
EEL 5513 - DSP Applications - Taught for the first time at UCF using the newly developed
syllabus. Sixty percent of the material is unique and developed by the instructor in the following
areas: 1) A unifying approach for signal and system analysis using FFT 2) DSP system analysis
and design including quantization etc. 3) Application of DSP in adaptive signal processing using
our own contributions. Introduced DSP MATLAB Software
EEL 6558 - Advanced Topics in DSP - Developed and taught for the first time at UCF
implementing new DSP curriculum. State of the art topics were introduced and material
prepared.
49
EEL 6502 - Adaptive Digital Signal Processing - Developed and taught for the first time at UCF
implementing our new DSP curriculum. The syllabus and material covered reflect the maturity
of the field. Theory was covered and five real life-engineering projects were given to emphasize
the main ideas of emerging technological applications in intelligent signal processing. Students
developed their own software to implement the algorithms. A great deal of material from our
own contributions was incorporated in the course.
EEL 6505 - Multidimensional Digital Signal Processing - New developed course in the DSP
curriculum. Taught for the first time at UCF. MATLAB DSP software package was introduced
in this course. Several of our contributions were incorporated in the course.
EEL 4140 – Revised Lab Manual, Fall 2005 (Major revision),On the Web.
Course/Curriculum Development:
Led Senior undergrad/graduate DSP new curriculum development - DSP fund. (4750), followed
by DSP Applic. (5513) which feeds Adaptive DSP (6502), M/D DSP(6505) and/ or advanced
topics in DSP (6558) such as DSP Learning Systems, Spectral Analysis and Speech Processing.
Prepared course description, syllabi and texts for 4750, 5513, 6502 courses. Requested and
obtained University approvals. Sequence started Fall, 1990. Led the development of MS and
MSEE typical plans of study for both thesis and non-thesis option in the DSP area. Started the
implementation in the Fall of 1990, of the DSP sequence (EEL 4750 followed by EEL 5513 and
EEL 6558 (Advanced Topics in DSP).
Laboratory Development:
-Prepared specs of a NeXT Network System Hardware to be used for DSP education at the senior
and grad levels. The system is capable of audio and image signal acquisition.
-AT&T DSP32 digital signal processing wp system has been specified and acquired
-The NeXT Network Server System is operational now. It has been networked to the main frame
and is accessible from two additional terminals.
-Prepared specs of a SUN SPARC II station. Led hardware spec preparation for data acquisition
of audio and image signals (SUN, PGAT).
